Rockhopper Penguin
Eudyptes chrysocome

Rockhopper Penguins have a bizarre blonde streaks of "hair" sticking out at the sides of their heads, red eyes and red bills.
Their feet are pink with black soles and toenails and they jump well.

They live on rocky southern coasts of South America and on islands in the southern Atlantic,
Pacific and Indian Oceans. Some split them into 3 species or 2-3 subspecies.

Rocky enjoys singing - Rock music?

"Do you want ice with that?"

"I'm a director"

"toilets this way"

Two subspecies or full species are shown on this page: the Northern Rockhopper
(E. (chrysocome) moseleyi) of temperate Atlantic and Indian Ocean islands is shown
in most photos; the Southern Rockhopper (E. (chrysocome) chrysocome)
of sub-Antarctic waters around Cape Horn and New Zealand is shown above. Individuals differ more in appearance than subspecies.
